Yuhao Li

I am a third-year (2021-present) PhD student in the theory group of Computer Science Department, Columbia University. I am extremely fortunate to be advised by Prof. Xi Chen and Prof. Rocco Servedio. Prior to that, I got the B.Sc. degree in computer science from Peking University, where I was fortunate to be advised by Prof. Xiaotie Deng on algorithmic game theory.

My research interests broadly lie in theoretical computer science, especially algorithms and complexity theory related to TFNP, proof complexity, communication complexity, and property testing.
